Do autists live to be old? I heard that IQ actually correlates with lifespan.
Theyre just buckets of symptoms that show up together. They have no underlying causal theory
The latest DSM tightened up the reqs for autism diagnosis, so aspies aren't autists officially
IQ correlates to being based and redpilled.
It does, but only because high IQ people tend to take better care of themselves
@Jacob that's actually a good question, most of the autistic folks that I've known in my day have other underlying health issues that would prevent them from living a long life. But that doesn't mean all of them do that's just an anecdotal experience
Or low iq people die off
oh ya that's another thing
"autism" just refers to described behaviors
it's not really an *actual* condition @Perihelion - CA
And make more money for better treatments
Saying that you behaved a certain way because of your autism is a tautology
True
Has Down syndrome always existed or is it a new thing?
Most modern psychology is tautology
Well, that doesn't mean it isn't useful
Always, they just used to be left in the woods
@Jacob I just learned a new word
Describing behaviors can still be useful
You can see downies in ancient and medieval art
@Jordan - MD Did you have to look it up or was it obvious from context?
They tend to be sweathearts so people liked them
Normally I would say redundant. But that's a really cool way to phrase it
ya, I guess that kinda means the same thing
"tautology" is the first word to come to mind, I wasn't trying to sound big brained or anything
Downs has a recognized cause, afaik autism and aspergers are kind of “idk lol”
I love our vocabulary. We shouldn't be ashamed of that
Downs is a doubling of a chromosome
People say big brained like it's a bad thing
They have more genetic code than us
Downie master race
Well, I do think there's a such thing as being needlessly articulate
They have 3 of chromosome 21 instead of 2
TFW downies are the next step in evolution
You can definitely overwrite
Just remember your audience
More = better, always
13 chromosome do 50 bad
@Jacob that's true, although most of the time I use larger words to shorten a sentence. I feel like as long as you know the definition it's actually easier to read
My life would be so much better if my IQ were 60
4 chromosome 21 is too powrful for this dimension
Truly the next evolutionary step
